Al Dirgham

Scent Breakdown

Al Dirgham aims for the effortless cool of Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême. Initially, there's a burst of juicy mandarin and a pleasant, if slightly synthetic, mint. The cypress is there, but subdued. It’s a bright, energetic opening, around 90% of the original's vibrant clarity.

The heart introduces a peppery sage that’s a touch rougher than the smooth sophistication of the Chanel. Tonka is present, adding a creamy sweetness, but lacks the nuanced depth.

The drydown is where it most diverges. The sandalwood is less refined, more generic "woody". Musk is clean, but lacks the magnetic quality of the original. Cedar offers a dry, grounding counterpoint.

To Buy or Not to Buy?

This isn’t a carbon copy, but Al Dirgham captures the *spirit* of Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême. If you’re after that sporty, clean vibe and don't want to break the bank, this is a solid option. It's for the guy who prefers a casual confidence over ostentatious display. For everyday wear, Al Dirgham is a perfectly acceptable substitute.

Projection Power

It projects moderately for the first hour, creating a noticeable scent bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin, becoming a subtle aura. Longevity is decent, hovering around 5-6 hours. Not a powerhouse, but respectable .
